Missouri Farmer
A Missouri farmer passed away and left 17 mules to his three sons. The instructions left in the will said that the oldest boy was to get one-half, the second oldest one-third, and the youngest one-ninth. The three sons, recognizing the difficulty of dividing 17 mules into these fractions, began to argue. Their uncle heard about the argument, hitched up his mule and drove out to settle the matter. He added his mule to the 17, making 18. The oldest therefore got one-half, or nine, the second oldest got one-third, or six, and the youngest son got one-ninth, or two. Adding up 9, 6 and 2 equals 17. The uncle, having settled the argument, hitched up his mule and drove home.Small Town Doctor
A small town Doctor was famous in the area for always catching large fish. One day while he was on one of his frequent fishing trips, he got a call that a woman at a neighboring farm was giving birth. He rushed to her aid and delivered a healthy baby boy. The farmer had nothing to weigh the baby with so the Doctor used his fishing scales. The baby weighed 22 lbs 10 oz.Falling Rocks
Long, long ago an old Indian chief was about to die, so he called for Geronimo and Falling Rocks, the two bravest warriors in his tribe. The chief instructed each to go out and seek buffalo skins. Whoever returned with the most skins would be chief. About a month later Geronimo came back with one hundred pelts; sadly, Falling Rocks never returned. Today as you drive through the West, you can see the evidence of love and devotion the tribe had for this brave. At nearly every mile marker there are signs saying, "Watch for Falling Rocks."World Famous Son
St. Peter was watching the pearly gates one afternoon when Jesus came around to see him. "Oh great! Glad you're here," Peter says, "Can you watch the gates for a minute?" Jesus nods and Pete runs off in a hurry. Soon, and old man walks up to the gate. "Well," Jesus says, "Tell me your life story." The old man looks up and says "I don't remember too much when I died, but I remember my name was Joseph, and I was a carpenter, and I had a son that was world famous!" Jesus looks at him and says, "Papa?" The old mans says, "Pinocchio?" A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops.. On my desk I have a work station... If "con" is the opposite of "pro," then what is the opposite of progress? "I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying 'flee at once - all is discovered.' They all left town immediately." -- Mark Twain
